About AIDA64 Engineer

AIDA64 Engineer has a hardware detection engine unrivaled in its class. It provides detailed information about installed software and offers diagnostic functions and support for overclocking. As it is monitoring sensors in real time, it can gather accurate voltage, temperature and fan speed readings, while its diagnostic functions help detect and prevent hardware issues. It also offers a couple of benchmarks for measuring the performance of individual hardware components or the whole system. It is compatible with all 32-bit and 64-bit Windows editions, including Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022.

Our SSD review benchmark results are presented in alphabetical order, so it is understandable the first on the list are results from one of our favorite benchmarking programs, AIDA64 Engineer. Just to note, AIDA64 Engineer is a full synthetic benchmark. This means it is not necessarily a direct representation of real-life performance, such as how fast applications start or how fast it takes to start up your operating system. However, it does provide valuable insight into the performance between different drives and different controllers.

From the graphs above, the Kingston NV3 2TB was slightly below average for most of the results. It averaged around 5921MB/s in the linear read tests, while achieving lower random and buffered read results. These results were notably behind other QLC-based drives, including the NV7000-Q and Crucial P3 Plus. It was also quite a bit slower than our other Kingston drives, the KC3000 and the FURY Renegade, although these drives cater to different price points. It was also the second slowest buffered read result, which was disconcerting to say the least. Otherwise, comparisons can be made with our other drives in the graphs above.
